Our server Eleyana was fantastic. She’s was super kind, welcoming, and gave us some of the best recommendations. The Happy Hour is nice, so if you pop in you should within those hours. All in all, Eleyana really elevated our experience to the next level. Cannot wait to be back!!
One last note, the salsa verde was easily top 3 in Austin

Food was quality - very impressive vegetarian options. Friends also said the Barbacoa tacos were great, Polli good hut not great.
Mezcalita was excellent, can see why they only allow two per person though!
Only real question is why are there only two toilets??

First time trying this place and it was good. Reservations are a must to be seated quicker. i really enjoyed the indoor seating but the outdoor seating seems like much more fun! the chips and queso is phenomenal! i got the sweet potato taco and it was delicious. frozen margaritas are SO good!!

This is a really cute place to hang out on the east side. The parking is terrible, but there is lots of overflow on the street behind. Their margaritas are fantastic, but you will be limited to only two large ones. I’ll also highly recommend the queso, but there salsas don’t really do it for me. Margaritas and queso alllll day. This place does have a great vibe, but it is typically very, very, very busy! The servers have never been overly friendly or seem interested in our tables, but that’s probably because they’re so busy. Come with a reservation or be prepared to wait.

Friend recommended it - it was alright the food was very bland imo and not Mexican food tbh just some meat and taco shells. It was. A 6/10 for me! I enjoyed the environment super cool scene but that’s about all.

I am writing this review at 2:23AM. These are hands down the strongest Margaritas I’ve ever had. They kicked my freaking ass! I haven’t gotten this drunk since college and I’m 34. I had 2 small frozens and it’s like I went drinking and bar hopping all night. Can’t remember ish after we left. The carnitas tacos are also the best I’ve ever had no argument about it. Truly authentic and perfect. We will definitely be going back but I will probably just have 1 drink.
The real deal! Steered here by friends who said de Nada was 'REAL AUSTIN.' Very pleased. Restaurant has an awesomely cool vibe but we catered for our large group at our Air B&B. Ordering process with Sean was conscientious, clear, concise, efficient. He's great! Very thorough. His recommendations were on target: Barbacoa (biggest group fave); Crispy Beef tacos; Crispy Mushroom Picadillo Tacos (vegan); Camote (vegan roasted sweet potato, another group fave); huge portions of rice, beans, tortillas (crispy and blue corn (another group fave) with all the fixins' (pickled onions, chopped cilantro, sour cream, etc.) Pick up process with John was smooth, cool, and easy. Great quality for your money. We look forward to visiting these guys and the de Nada team again soon. Thank you, de Nada Cantina! - Timothy SV, IMPACT-Leadership Pasadena (TX)

The tacos here are amazing! We also had the salsa trio and that was really good too! Fun place that was dog friendly too. Our server was terrible, but the other staff were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

It's a cute place but the doors being kept open makes it feel like you're outside. Not great in the winter. Tables are really small. Service wasn't great. I asked for a water and didn't get it. We had a reservation and our table didn't even have the menu for the special item they had that day. When I asked about the specials the waitress said "there isn't any" and I had to keep asking several times if there was anything seasonal or limited before she finally told me they DID have something special on the menu that day only. It felt like we were a burden. "Quesadillas" is just one quesadilla for $5.

For being a crowded local hotspot, the food is good, I had the beef and barbacoa tacos and they both had great texture flavor, and were on their house made blue corn tortillas. They are famous for their margs, my friends all loved theirs and I love their selection of Mexican beers, Pacifico, Victoria, and Coro
